Vacation, All I Ever Wanted

It’s time to load up the family truckster and head out for some rest and relaxation.

Wait. Who am I kidding? There’s really no such thing as a vacation when you have kids. Someone still has to do laundry, feed everyone, and make sure everyone uses the bathroom at the most opportune times/rest stops.

Vacations are fun, though, and I’m looking forward to our adventure. Something will inevitably go wrong, I know. Last summer we had an enjoyable camping trip to Mackinaw City, Michigan. My “bad mom” vacation moment happened after the trip when I returned home, left the roof bubble attached to my roof rack, forgot it was there, and drove it into our carport.

And let’s not forget what happened this winter when my family went to Disneyworld. We watched a giant hawk swoop down to the Boardwalk Resort swimming pool, scoop up not one but two baby ducklings, and rip them to shreds outside our hotel room.

Good times, good times!

Can’t wait to see what adventures are in store for us in the coming week. Don’t despair, though. I’ve got a fantastic guest post lined up from Adrienne over at The Mommy Mess on Tuesday and a “killer” home movie on Thursday. When I get back, I’ll be ready to host my second ever giveaway featuring a Happy Doodles custom stuffed toy.

’til then!
